Martin dreadnought japanese copy made in the 70's. I bought it in 1976, since then I still play with it. There are white stripes around the body. 20 frets, the guitar is made of solid wood but I don't what's the kind of wood. The tuners are quite basic.
Sound
:
9
I play blues, rock, ballads, folk. I fitted the guitar with special blues steel strings and find the sound awesome. I played on Martin guitars and the sound is almost the same. The only drawback is when I strum quite hard then you get noise from the strings;
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
The action was a little to high so I set it up lower. There were no flaws.
Reliability/Durability
:
7
I owned this guitar for 32 years, nothing has been changed but the strings. Everyone who plays with it finds it easy to play with an incredible sound as nobody knows nowadays what Kasuga brand is.
After all thei years of duty the back of the body has several scratches and the top is dented because of me (a glass fell down on the top). The guitar travels with me in a hard case.

Overall Rating

I own a Fender Telecaster Sensor Lace and a Ibanez. For the price I paid whne I bought it (100$) it's a good bargain.
I like this guitar very much as we've been living together for so long, it reminds me lots of memories, anyway what I love is the sound, the good workmanship what I dislike is the tuners (I should have changed them)
